Melania Trump ’s plagiarism scandal descended quickly into a farce Monday night. The #FamousMelaniaTrumpQuotes hashtag trended worldwide on Twitter minutes after it emerged that she had apparently plagiarized parts of her Republican National Convention speech from an earlier address that first lady Michelle Obama had given. Legions of people mocked the wife of presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump and imagined other hilarious phrases that the former model could also try to pass off as her own.

The military uprising in Turkey and the attack in France signal a world in turmoil. Events elsewhere this week also mark an ominous historic turn of events. From two ends of the globe, geopolitical rifts have hardened. NATO recently announced the deployment of a missile shield and four new battalions in the front line states bordering Russia, prompting former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to say the West is preparing for a ” hot war .” A U.N. tribunal on maritime disputes declared on Tuesday that China has no legal basis for claiming sovereignty over shoals in the South China Sea also claimed by the Philippines, prompting Beijing, which sees the U.S. maneuvering behind the scenes, to react in anger and defiance.

Let’s face it. Any one of us, regardless of age, can face an untimely departure from this world. In such an event, what would your digital legacy say about you for generations to come? To ensure that you will be memorialized online according to your wishes, it is best to prepare for the day you won’t be around to manage your digital reputation for yourself. Many internet service providers don’t allow for accounts to be transferred to heirs, even when people indicate so in their wills. As technology continues to evolve, lawmakers attempt to establish digital property legislation.

WASHINGTON ― The same type of bomb-carrying robot that Dallas police used to kill a sniper who shot and killed five officers during a Black Lives Matter rally could easily be fashioned and deployed by dozens of other police forces across the country. The robot that officers used to kill Micah Xavier Johnson is designed to find and disarm bombs, not deliver them. But after a standoff Thursday night, police outfitted the robot with an explosive device and detonated it near Johnson . Robotics experts said the incident was the first time law enforcement has used a robot in a targeted killing in the U.S. These bomb-detecting robots are fairly inexpensive, often costing less than $10,000 each. But local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies can also request the devices at no cost through the military’s 1033 program, which gives used military equipment that would otherwise be thrown away to U.S. law enforcement agencies

Tesla on Wednesday said it has no evidence that one of its cars was in autopilot mode when it hit a guardrail and flipped on the Pennsylvania Turnpike about 100 miles east of Pittsburgh on July 1. Police in Pennsylvania said the driver of a Tesla Model X told them he’d activated autopilot before the accident, but the car maker has been unable to assess the allegations first reported by The Detroit Free Press. Tesla says it has been unable to reach the motorist, a suburban Detroit art dealer, and also hasn’t received digital crash data, perhaps because the car’s antenna was damaged. “We have no data at this point to indicate that Autopilot was engaged or not engaged,” a company spokeswoman said in a statement. “ As we do with all crash events, we immediately reached out to the customer to confirm they were ok and offer support, but were unable to reach him. We have since attempted to contact the customer three times by phone without success. It is not possible to learn more without access to the vehicle’s onboard logs.” Albert Scaglione, the alleged car owner, hasn’t responded to The Huffington Post’s inquiries.
